Here it is, my recipe for Classic Thankgiving Stuffing!
Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing
Ingredients:
- 2 loaves white bread, cubed (or torn in to pieces)
- 1 lb ground (pork) sausage (My mom uses Jimmy Dean, so that's what I use as well, but feel free to use your personal favorite)
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped (some people prefer more celery, I just don't care for it that much so I use less, however you can use however much you like in this recipe, I've been advised that 6 stalks is average)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 1/2 tsps ground sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 tbs butter
- 1+ cup chicken broth (start with one cup, use more if stuffing appears too dry)
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
Directions:
Grease a 9x13 pan (I used a cooking spray) and preheat the oven to 325. Start by browning the sausage. Cook over medium until evenly brown, then drain, reserving one tablespoon of the drippings.
Next add celery and onions to 1 tbs drippings and add butter. Cook over medium-low heat until veggies are tender and onions are translucent.
In a large bowl, mix together sausage, veggies, bread, sage, salt and pepper. I usually add the spices to my veggies and mix well before mixing with bread and sausage, I just find this distributes the spices more evenly.
Pour eggs and broth into bread mixture. Combine well, adding more broth if necessary. *Stuffing should be moist, but not turned into mush.
Pour into the greased baking dish, and bake for 1 hour, or until top is golden brown and crunchy (crunchy parts are the best in my opinion!).
